ALLIANCE AIDED

KAIStH, UHAKlit Pro-German. Propaganda Spread by Organization, Says University Man. WASHINGTON, April 9. Positive charges that individual members of the German-American alliance supported propaganda to mould the policy of the United States in. the event of war with Germany, were made today by Professor E. E. Sperry of Syracuse university before the senate committee considering the bill to revoke the organization's charter. Members, he said, backed the American embargo conference, the American neutrality league and other organizations which he charged were part of the pan-German league. German school teachers years ago, Sperry said, were teaching their charges that "the time is coming when Germans In the United States would have the right that Is their dua." At the convention of the national German-American alliance In New York in 1907, Sperry declared. William Randolph . Hearst proposed an international German alliance, the effect of which 8perry said, would have been to extend the activities of the GermanAmerican allianc to Germany. "Mr. Hearst offered to pay the expenses of the delegates from this country to Germany for that purpose," said Sperry. The plan never was carried out. Sperry said, but delegates went to Cambridge, Mass., at that time at the expense of Mr. Hearst, where a dedication of a German memorial took place. At the same convention the German Alliance sent a message expressing cordiality and good will of the members to the German empeuor, Sperry said. The first -German propagandist to come here officially as a representative of the pan-German league, was Karl Peters, who camhere in 1893 to begin th-j propaganda work. - Mr. Sperry paid. Later a propagandist named Von Rlntling came for the earn1 purpose. "Mr. Von Rintllng had a plan to bribo members of congress directly," Mr. Sperry said. "That is, if ho could," interposer Senator King of Utah, chairman of the committee. "Oh. yes," Mr. Sperry replied, "if he could." Mr. Sperry declared that the real membership of the American Embargo Conference consisted only of five persons and that it was supported by German-American organizations which contributed $57,000 to its support-

By HAL POD What's the use. Lawrence Handley would like to know, of trying to do the thing you think is best, because: If you go to church regularly they call you a religious crank. If you don't go you're. heathen. If you save your money they call you a tightwad. If you apend it you're a spendthrift. If you're rich you are a mollycoddle. If you're poor you don't amount to much. If you are successful in life you're crooked. If not then you are brainless. A local druggist advertises that face creams and lip and cheek rouges have gone up in price. Beauty comes high these days.

Bill Pond was discussing the war and other incidental happenings of the day with a farmer out in the county a few days ago, but tor some reason Bill was unable to get a rise out of the old boy. Finally Bill thought he might interest his would be customer if he would say something about the saloons going out of business. "Well," said the genial circulation manager of the Pal, "the saloons will soon be closing up in Richmond." "Is that so?" said the old farmer, coming out of his shell for the once. "I didn't know there was an saloops in Richmond." "Who is this guy Bryan, anyhow?"

HOW THE PURCHASE OF A LIBERTY BOND DEFENDS YOU AND YOURS

Supposing the enemy had landed on the coast, and In battle array were coming up the street toward your home. Suppose American troops were opposing their progress. Suppose that, before your .very door, stood one soldier, fighting to defend your home and your family. Would you not be willing to give $50 or $100 to provide him with reserves of arms and ammunition, with food, with everything he needed to keep his place there? Would you hesitate to give this sum even if its repayment was not guaruntDori hv the richest man in the

world, who would also give you 4U

interest for its use? You know that you would give $50. or $100, or any other sum you could scrape together, to support the man who was defending you, and that you would give it without any consideration of Interest or repayment. Put the ocean between your home and the enemy and the situation you face today is the same. The Boldiera of your army are standing between you and youra and a ruthless enemy. Upon their strength and courage and upon their equipment, depends the safety of your home and all that there is in It, and behind you stands Uncle Sam, the richest man in the world, who will not only return your money when you need It, but will pay you 44 a year for its use. When you buy a fifty-dollar Liberty bond you merely spend that much money to supply reserves of food and ammunition to the soldier who Is fighting for vou. Whatever you spend is spent for the same purpose, to back the army that is fighting your battles with the supplies that it must have to hn war. More than that, by the

money you spend you show them that

you are behind tnem, nean anu sum, and you encourage and inspire them In the heroic task they have underMoney Is vitally necessary to the iii the field. This

country can win this war, and secure

by so doing, a lasting peace, uecauoc it has not only men, but money, and - u.-hUoG aiiini)!inep of the latter.

U llllllll. . - But that money must be transmitted

into munitions and supplies neiore u r.an ti made to count in the war.

And, above all, there must be

enough of it more-than enougn an at ihp government needs for im

mediate requirements, and a vast re

serve to meet tuture neeas. One $50 Liberty bond will buy: Enough ether or chloroform to ease the pain of 250 or more wounded soldiers during operations on the field or at base hospitals. Twenty-five treatments of antitetanic serum, so that the wounds made by the shrapnel or bullets of the cnll not cause death by lock

jaw, which proved one of the great

est horrors or war in oiner aays. Three modern rifles, enough to last a man many days under active fire. Fifteen hundred rounds of ammunition, with which any American soldier Can do offensive execution, preserving his life and saving the lives of the wounded in the rear. Enough focd to keep a soldier 150 ilavs

Enough smallpox vaccine to make J 500 soldiers immune from one of the

most fearful scourges of war. . A base hospital laboratory.

Four gallons of iodine or fifty gal

lons of peroxide of hydrogen, both necessary in the antiseptic treatment

of wounds.

Ten to fifteen litters, with which the wounded can be carried from the

field. Ten cots for use in hospitals. These are but a few of the things which your $50 bond will buy when Uncle Sam spends the money you have loaned to him at 4 per cent Interest. That $50, and many more $50, if you have them, you would be glad to spend for the better safety and protection of the man who fought for your home. , But the men In Franca are fighting for your home as much as if they stood beforfe it. Not only are they lighting for your home, but for your country, and for the liberty for which your fathers willingly fought until they secured it, though the battle endured for seven long years. We ask you to bring the war close to you so that you can look at it in a clear light. Your purchase of a Liberty Bond is merely a patriotic backing of your army an act in defense of your home and of every home in the land. Buy one now. Buy a $50 bond anyway. If you can, buy a $100 or a $1,000 worth of bonds. To stand by your country and your country's army now is worth any sacrifice that you can make.

It would please your folks to know

that you attended the church serHces

at the Y. M. C. A. every Sunday morning. The lectures are always good. .

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION

' Create Gfts, Sourness Mad Pain How To Treat.

Medical authorities state that nearlv nine-tenths of the, cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning-.

gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate

stomach lining Is irritated, digestion

is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every

stomach suirerer knows so wfYI.

Artificial digestents are not needed

in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying; aside all digestive aids and Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of BlsurateJ Magnesia end take a teaspoonful In a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. r.isurated Magnesia (In powder or tablet form never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It Is used by thousands of people who enjo.v their meals with n6 more fear of indigestion. Adv.
